Summary

This trial looks at whether a structured rehabilitation program can help improve cognitive function and quality of life for people with bTBI.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for active-duty personnel or Veterans aged 21-50 who served in OEF/OIF and have mild traumatic brain injury from a blast with loss of consciousness under 30 minutes. It's not for those with penetrating head injuries, previous neurological diagnoses, psychotic disorders before the blast, or significant hearing/vision problems.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well a structured cognitive rehabilitation program can improve thinking skills and life quality in people with brain injuries caused by blasts. Participants will receive either cognitive interventions or educational sessions to aid their recovery.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions like education and cognitive exercises, there are no typical drug side effects; however, participants may experience fatigue or frustration during challenging tasks.
